Description
Copen, operating under the alias Acura, is a human scientist and vigilante working independently from major factions. The older twin sibling of Mytyl Kamizono, he inherited his father Dr. Kamizono's research on Adepts after Sumeragi covered up the doctor's accidental death during an experiment with the Adept Asimov. This tragedy solidified Copen's conviction that Adepts represented an existential threat to humanity, driving his lifelong crusade against them.
Lacking innate Septimal abilities, Copen compensates with advanced technology. He designed combat gear including the Aix Gear shield for replicating Adept powers, the Border pistol (later upgraded to Border II/Voder II), and the autonomous drone Lola for tactical support. His signature "White Tiger" armor evolved to incorporate flight capabilities and modular subsystems, enhancing mobility and defense. Initially adopting the persona "The Adept Slayer," Copen displayed fanatical dedication to eradicating Adepts, whom he dehumanized as demons or monsters. He rejected alliances with even sympathetic Adepts like Gunvolt, citing ideological incompatibility.
A pivotal shift occurred during the rescue of his sister Mytyl, who was revealed to possess latent Septima. This forced Copen to confront contradictions in his beliefs, though he maintained his mission while distancing himself from his family to protect them. After thwarting the Eden uprising, he fully abandoned his Kamizono identity.
In an alternate timeline, Copen failed to prevent an Adept-dominated future and underwent cybernetic augmentation to extend his lifespan beyond a century. Now known as "The Luminous Avenger iX," he wanders a dystopian world protecting persecuted non-Adepts (Minos) alongside Lola. His armor was redesigned with Break-Shift (power-focused) and Bullit-Shift (speed-focused) configurations, wielding the Razor Wheel saw-blade weapon. While his hatred for Adepts diminished into detached indifference, resentment lingered toward those responsible for his family's suffering. Moments of compassion emerged, such as sparing the Adept Blade and protecting the Minos children led by Kohaku.
Copen's personality evolved from coldly obsessive to world-weary across timelines. Early portrayals emphasized rigid ideology and verbal sparring with adversaries, though glimpses of warmth surfaced in his protective relationships with Mytyl and Lola. The iX timeline highlighted his pragmatic detachment, yet he demonstrated self-sacrificial tendencies when aiding vulnerable humans. His century-long quest included searching for the mythical "Butterfly Effect" to alter the dystopian reality.
